The Huntington Chapel.

At the dedication of the $60, 900 chapel in Torrington donated by c. P. Huntington, the railroad magnate, whose wealth is yari- ously reputed at from $20,0O0,0 900 to $4O,- 100000, MT. Huntington in his presenta- tion speech spoke of his love for his native town and of the time when he and many present were barefoot children together. He said he was glad that he was born poor, for that was the main reason of such success in fife as he had been able to achieve. He thought most of the real joys of life came from the doing of good to others, in helping those who fail to rise, those who are below us to come up little higher. He spoke of his hard-working mother as one of the best women that ever lived, and he built the chapel in her memory and for those who had been children with him.
 The Hartford Times says: Some of the owners of the old horse sheds looked very sour all through the occasion and are still very much disgruntled about the matter. One of them took the trouble to go to New York on the Monday previous to see MT. Huntington on the subject, but he..concisely referred them to his agent here, MT. Lewis Catlin. It is generally conceded that parties from out of town tore down the old sheds. It was rumored that the owners had threat ened to get out an injunction on the dedica- tion, and it was intimated that when the society got possession it would sue for dam ages. But MT. Huntington said he would protect the property, and therefore he kept the new sheds and the lawn in his possession and the malcontents know it would be use, less to "tackle" the millionaire. All six of them have agreed to stand by one agreement, but it is to be hoped that they will soon come to MT. Huntington's terms and take new shed at half price and "bury the hatch et." The debris of the last three sheds which were pulled down was left lying around the green at the center for some months, but the night before the dedication it was drawn off and piled up beside the road below the center. On Monday night it was mysteriously ignited and made fine bonfire for few hours

srwER oommrrrRE,a MEETING.

 Persons Interested in Sewer Petitions
 and Remonstrances Are Heard 1n
 Reference TheretO-SeVEers Recon
 mended Laid in NicOII Street and
 Howard Avenue.
 The committee on sewers neld their regu- lar meeting last evening, Alderman Noonan presiding.
 The committee first took up the petition for a sewer in Nicoll street, between Edwards and Lawrence streets.
 Martin Flynn, representing 70 feet, said
 that the people in his two houses had got
 along for the past thirteen or fourteen years,
 but @ sewer was badly needed. He was anK-
 ious that sewer should be put in the street. MT. P. Franz, who owns ffty-six feet on the street, said he was in favor of it. He has three family house on his lot. John Hayes, representing one hundred and thirty feet, said that it would be no benefit | to him and quite an expense. He had no objections to his neighbors having sewer if l it only came up to his line. His house is ! connected with the Edwards street sewer. Dr. Nicon and William J. Atwater had con- ! sented to allow him to say to the board that \ they were not in favor of 8 sewer. MT. I Nicol owns about 150 feet from the corner | \ water owns considerable land on the street. | Michael Flynn, representing 160 feet, op- l posed the sewer only because he was con nected with the Edwards street sewer. He | was of the same opinion as MT. Hayes. 1 In the executive session the committee | voted to recommend that the sewer be laid as l called for in the petition. There were many persons appeared pro l and con on the petition for sewer in How ard avenue between New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company's bridge and 1 Sea street.
 L. I. Thompson, representing 15O feet, Il said the avenue was building up fast and he | thought the sewer should be put in before the houses were all put up, as after people
 had improved their places they seldom cared | to tear up again to put in sewer.
 MT. Kittendorf, representing DO feet, was
 strongly in favor of a sewer.
 R. w. Law, jr., representing 50 feet, ia vored having 8 sewer.
 Richard Law representing 122 feet, Henry Holt 50 feet, H. s. Beers B feet, MT. More-
 head 100 feet, J. Smith, 25O feet, $. T. Searles 50 feet, were ir favor. George w. Robinson of the Yale Law | school, representing one hundred feet, opposed which was not called for as yet. There were few houses on the street and the owners of vacant lots had already been put to much expense in the way of curbing walks, etc. Charles Clark, representing sixty feet, | thought it had not been built up enough yet ! to call for a sewer. The time would probably | come when one was needed. John B. Ward, representing two hundred l feet, thought there was no necessity for the | sewer.
 Massena Clark, representing sixty feet, J. H. Smith sixty-seven, and MT. Leek fifty, were all opposed to the sewer. In executive ses sion the committee voted | to recommend that sewer be laid. The committee voted to give the petitioners | for the sewer in Winchester avenue leave to withdraw. No one appeared in favor.

In speaking of the wealth of some

the wealthiest, at s118,l25,00O, and

all, who was Pythius, son of Atty, the
Lydian. who possessed in silver and
gold together s24,5l6,OOO, which ad'
ded to his possession Of land and
slaves at a proportionate value,
would swell his wealth to about $780,
100000. I mean his gold at the
Doric value of 1922; if reckoned at
the value of the slater siebos it would
give him in coin s6,036,000, and with
rlavas and lands in proportion, q
wealth of over s12O,OOO,000. This

previous occasion made King Darius,

Pythius, then, was the wealthiest
man in the world, and it is doubtful

ASSETS NOTHING.
Creditors VIII whistle for their
$4,000.
Speciul to Re0iSter.

ORANGEBURG, Sept. 2.-kirk Rob
inson, an insurance and collection
agent of this place, has failed. His
liabilities are estimated at about S10,.
900, but will probably amount to
more than that. His assets are moth.
ing.
Robinson has been getting behind
for long time, but has managed to
keep his business going by some
reasons.
He probably owes DR.. W. 7. Bar.
ton more than any other creditor. DR..
Barton will lose S2,500. The other
creditors are insurance companies
and firms doing business with men
in Orangeburg.
There is q good deal of complaint,
but no one seems to think Robinson
has pocketed the money, but that be
has spent it in his business and failed
to make ends meet. he seems to be
in great distress about the matter,
and says that bad management broke
him and that the failure grew on
him by degrees.
Full particulars cannot be obtained,
as his books have not been posted
for more than. a year.
